Czech developer KO.DLL and publisher Cinemax Games have just announced that their pixel-art platformer BZZZT, inspired by classics that determined the genre’s framework, will be hitting Nintendo Switch on September 19th.
Prepare your console for an extraordinary adventure straight from the future! Play as the small but incredibly clever robot ZX8000, face a series of tricky platform challenges full of deadly traps, and save the world from the mad scientist Badbert!
BZZZT is a fast-paced “jump-dash-run” platformer game that combines a nostalgic pixel-art look with a modern gameplay design. It was almost single-handedly made by one developer—Karel Matejka, known as KO.DLL—as a tribute to beloved classic games.
Inspired by the ‘80s tech revolution, this insanely detailed, pixel-art precision platformer will transport you back in time, where you’ll get to experience a thrilling adventure, cleverly designed levels, a whole plethora of skills to unlock, and intense boss fights!
Welcome to the year… 4096

No larger than a regular household toaster, but with some extraordinary skills, ZX8000 is ready to save the world, one platform challenge at a time!
The BZZZT world certainly needs to be saved from dark forces. The evil mad scientist, Badbert, prepares to unleash his nefarious plans upon the unsuspecting world as soon as he finds the perfect equilibrium of darkness, malice, and madness. Bwahahaha!
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your controller and help ZX8000 navigate through his mission to thwart Badbert’s evil plans! Become the robot who saves the world!
